Catalogues, price lists and other advertising literature or material as used by the Company are intended only as an indication of the price and range of Goods offered and no prices, descriptions or other particulars contained therein shall be binding on the Company.
All quoted or listed prices are based on the cost to the Company of supplying the Goods to the Customer. If, before delivery of the Goods, there occurs any increase in any way of such costs in respect of Goods which have not yet been delivered, the price payable shall be subject to amendment without notice at the Company's discretion.
The Company will not be liable in respect of any loss or damage caused by or resulting from any variation for whatever reason in the Manufacturer's specifications or technical data or definition of support and will not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from curtailment or cessation of supply following such variation.

Customers requesting a Permanent Key or Dongle are deemed as having accepted Software.
In consideration of the Goods or Support received, the customer shall pay the amount as set out in an invoice (the "Charges"). Due dates for payment will be calculated from the date of delivery (as specified on the invoice), independent of whether installation, where applicable, is ordered from the Company.

The Company shall not be liable for the cancellation by it of any order or any unfulfilled part thereof or for effecting partial delivery or performance, if performance by the Company is prevented or delayed whether directly or indirectly by any cause whatsoever beyond the reasonable control of the Company whether such cause existed or was foreseeable at the date of acceptance of the customer's order by the Company or not and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing any cause shall be deemed to prevent, hinder or delay the Company, if the Company is thereby prevented or delayed from fulfilling other commitments whether to the customer or to third parties.
If, and to the extent that any provision or any part of the provision of the Company's standard conditions of sale is illegal, void or unenforceable for any reason, then such provision or part thereof (as the case may be) shall be deemed to be severable from the remaining provisions or parts of the relevant provision (as the case may be) all of which remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
